General G-Max AS-05

[The Critic]

Need to install 4 tires onto a 2012 MB C250 Sedan that will be sold this year. Backs are currently at 2/32 and Fronts are between 4/32 and 5/32. The size is 225/45-17 for the front and 245/40-17 for the rear. Budget is about $500 installed for all 4. Best option I can find so far, is the General G-Max AS-05 for $450 installed (for all 4). Looking for feedback on the General G-Max AS-05 or suggestions on alternatives within the same price range. Thanks.

Should be a very good choice esp in CA. Price is right to boot. Plus not a budget no-name tire. I'd proceed with confidence on those. https://tirereviewsandmore.com/general-g-max-as-05-reviews/

If you're looking for something for flip, I'd look into the Sumitomo HTR AS PO2. But those Generals aren't too shabby, they're basically Conti's "value" line but made by them and maybe a generation behind Conti proper.

My wife has those on her car. I ordered them in store at a Discount Tire and had them put on when they arrived. They are good,but a tad louder than the oem tires were. She has a set of dedicated snow tires so I can't commit on snow performance.

Looks like I can also get the Goodyear Eagle Sport A/S for the same price. Thoughts?

Probably has a bit more road noise. So I'd say no on those. https://tirereviewsandmore.com/goodyear-eagle-sport-all-season-reviews/

Both are totally fine, whatevers cheaper.

Both fine choices for a car that is getting sold soon.

Just picked up the car from the tire shop.

Any initial thoughts on them?

They are nothing special. I would consider them to be a very average tire in all areas.
